Effects of freeze-thaw cycles on fracture behavior of epoxy asphalt concrete

According to the winter temperature of Peking,the freeze-thaw（FT） condition in laboratory was determined.Seven groups of epoxy asphalt concrete（EAC） specimen were exposed to different FT cycles.The flexural modulus and fracture energy（G_F） of EAC exposed to different FT cycles were obtained through the 3-point bending test.Meanwhile,the plane strain fracture toughness（K_（IC）） of EAC was obtained through numerical simulation.The results show that the flexural modulus of the FT conditioned EAC samples decreases with the increase of FT cycles.The FT damage of flexural modulus is 60%after 30 FT cycles.Nevertheless,with the increase of FT cycles,the G_F and K_（IC） of EAC decrease first and then increase after 15 FT cycles.

Performance evaluation of open-graded epoxy asphalt concrete with two nominal maximum aggregate sizes

Open-graded friction course(OGFC) is applied to pavement surfaces to increase driving safety under wet conditions, and recently, to reduce tire/pavement noise. The durability of OGFC, however, has been a concern since conventional OGFC mixes last typically less than ten years before major maintenance or rehabilitation is needed. This work investigates a new open-graded asphalt mixture that uses epoxy asphalt as binder to improve mix durability. One type of epoxy asphalt that has been successfully applied to dense-graded asphalt concrete for bridge deck paving was selected. A procedure of compacting the mix into slab specimens was developed and a series of laboratory tests were conducted to evaluate the performance of the new mix, including Cantabro loss, permeability, friction, shear strength, and wheel rutting tests. Results show superior overall performance of the open-graded epoxy asphalt mix compared to conventional open-graded asphalt mix. There are also preliminary indications that the OGFC mix with 4.75-mm NMAS gradation can improve the resistance performance to raveling, while the OGFC mix with 9.5-mm NMAS gradation can improve the performance of surface friction at a high slip speed.

Modelling the Rheological Properties of Epoxy Asphalt Concrete

This paper presents an investigation into modelling the rheological properties of epoxy asphalt concrete( EAC) by using the Huet-Sayegh model. Complex modulus tests were conducted on EAC specimens at various temperature and loading frequency conditions. Dynamic modulus and phase angles obtained from the complex modulus tests were used in the construction of the Huet-Sayegh model. The dynamic modulus master curve was developed by the Huet-Sayegh model as well as the Burgers model for comparison purpose. The results showed that EAC exhibits typical rheological behavior whose dynamic modulus decreases with the increase of temperature while increases with the increase of frequency,and phase angles increase with the decrease of frequencies and the increase of temperatures. The Huet-Sayegh model predicts the dynamic modulus master curve of EAC very well and much better than the Burgers model over a wide range of frequencies.

Design and evaluation of epoxy asphalt geogrid stress- absorbing layer

In order to delay or eliminate the occurrence and expansion of the reflective cracking in the asphalt concrete overlay on old cement concrete pavement, an epoxy asphalt geogrid stress-absorbing layer（ EAGSAL） was designed. The EAGSAL consists of epoxy asphalt and fiberglass geogrid. The pull-out test, skewshearing test, bending beam test and fatigue test were conducted to evaluate the performance of the EAGSAL and a traditional stress-absorbing layer（ TSAL）. The results showthat the adhesive performance, shear performance, bending strength and fatigue performance of the EAGSAL with an optimal spraying volume of epoxy asphalt are better than those of optimally designed TSAL, and the maximum bending strain of the EAGSAL is very close to that of the TSAL. The EAGSAL has superior performance in reflective cracking resistance.Moreover, the EAGSAL with the optimal spraying volume of approximately 2. 0 L m^2 is thinner and lighter than the TSAL,which can decrease the thickness and improve the bearing ability of the whole pavement structure.

Indexes mainly including SDPCI PDR and PCR are presented to evaluate its distress condition. The evaluation system and maintenance plan decision tree were recommended which can assist scientific maintenance of epoxy asphalt steel deck pavement.

Fatigue damage analysis of epoxy asphalt pavement for steel bridges considering coupled effects of heavy load and temperature variations

To investigate the fatigue damage of epoxy asphalt pavement(EAP)under a heavy load and a d temperature load,the load-figure of the heavy load on the steel bridge deck pavement(SBDP)was simulated first,and the temperature distribution of SBDP during the temperature-fall period in winter was also calculated.Secondly,t e moving heavy load coupled W t the most unfavorable temperatre load was applied to the SBDP,and the tensile stress on the top of SBDP was calculated.Finally,the fatigue damage of EAP was evaluated considering the extreme situation of heavily overloaded and severe environments.The results show that botte heavy load and the temperature load during t e temperature-fall period c n increase the tensile stress on the top of SBDP significantly.In the exteme situation of heavily overloaded and severe environments,a fatigue crack is easily generated,and thus the SBDP should avoid t e coupling effects of the heavy loadand the temperature load in winter.

为了研究季冻区玄武岩纤维增韧型环氧沥青混合料的性能劣化规律,首先,通过沥青黏温曲线分析和直接拉伸性能测试,初步确定纤维长度和掺量,并对比纤维改性前后的环氧沥青混合料(EAC)的路用性能,进一步确定最佳纤维长度和掺量,形成玄武岩纤维增韧型环氧沥青混合料(FEAC)的设计流程。随后,进行低温弯曲试验,测试不同冻融损伤程度沥青混合料的弯拉强度、弯拉应变、弯曲劲度模量和弯曲应变能密度。研究结果表明:6%(质量分数)玄武岩纤维掺量的FEAC具有较好的高温性能和低温抗裂性,并保持了与EAC相当的水稳定性。随着冻融循环次数的增加,EAC和FEAC的弯拉强度、弯曲劲度模量和弯曲应变能密度逐渐降低,而弯拉应变的变化趋势则与之相反。相较于EAC,FEAC表现出更高的弯拉强度、弯拉应变和较低的弯曲劲度模量。FEAC和EAC的弯曲应变能密度冻融损伤变化均呈现明显的3段式性能下降。S形逻辑函数能够有效地描述冻融循环的损伤变化规律,其中模型参数a、k和x c显示出玄武岩纤维对延缓环氧沥青混合料冻融损伤增长具有积极作用。
